I've always felt like I was missing out seeing all the Kodiak Cakes products on the shelves. Everything from pancake mix to frozen waffles to oatmeal cups to crackers — they all contain whey or other dairy, so they're a no for me.

But now Kodiak Cakes has a Plant-Based Flapjack and Waffle Mix. Like its other products, this one is protein-packed and made with wholesome ingredients. Keep reading to find out how they taste and where you can get a box.

The list of ingredients on this Kodiak Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix is pretty basic with whole wheat flour, pea protein, and brown rice protein as the main ingredients. This mix does contain cane sugar.

A half-cup serving of this mix has just 190 calories, so you can enjoy your stack with fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup. It also has two grams of fat, 33 grams of carbs, and offers four grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein. Note that there are also eight grams of added sugars.

As you can see from the photo, the mix looks like regular ol' pancake mix. They recommend mixing one cup of mix with one cup of water, but I found that made for pretty thin pancakes, so I added a little extra mix.

These pancakes were soft and tender, with a lovely sweet flavor. They didn't even need maple syrup; I just enjoyed them with fresh sliced strawberries, bananas, and chopped pecans. I was worried that they'd taste like protein powder, but I couldn't taste the pea protein at all. When I don't have the time to mix my own whole wheat protein pancakes from scratch, these would be just as good!

Aside from pancakes and waffles, I love that on the back of the box, there are two extra recipes — one for banana nut muffins and the other for brownies! This would be a nutritious and quick option for whipping up some delicious protein-packed breakfast and dessert recipes.

My local grocery store sells Kodiak Cakes products, but I haven't been able to find this plant-based mix yet. If you're ready to give them a try, you can order a box from the Kodiak Cakes website for $6.50.

Kodiak Cake Cookies (kodiak Cakes Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe)

As I scroll through social media, I often see nutritionists and fitness influencers talking about the pancake brand Kodiak Cakes, claiming they're a healthier, protein-packed alternative to a traditional pancake breakfast.

You can use their mix to make waffles and pancakes because they are higher in protein, higher in fiber, so they leave you satisfied for a lot longer than something like the Eggo's brand, Kylie Sakaida, a registered dietitian, told me.

However, there are 8 or 9 grams of added sugar per serving in some of the flavors — that's typically higher than other mixes. So just because Kodiak Cakes are higher in protein, it doesn't necessarily mean they're a better option, Bellatti said.

Blueberry Power Mix

I was worried my grocery store in Brooklyn wouldn't carry Kodiak, but I was pleasantly surprised to find an entire shelf devoted to the pancake mix.

It cost $6.19 for 11 servings, which was much more expensive than any other pancake mix in the section, so I had very high expectations going into this taste test.

The cinnamon-oat flavor contains whole-grain wheat flour, whole-grain rolled oats, cane sugar, wheat protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate, leavening, cinnamon, buttermilk, and salt.

While reading the box, I learned there were 14 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and 9 grams of sugars — including 8 grams of added sugar — in just over one pancake, or each 1/3-cup serving.

For instance, if I just added water to the mix, then the pancakes would have 14 grams of protein each. But if I added milk instead of water, then the pancakes would have 16 grams of protein. If I added milk and an egg, there would be 18 grams of protein.

Rather than using just 1/3 cup of mix, I used a whole cup because that seemed like the amount I'd actually want to eat.

Typically, when I use pancake mix, the batter is paler than the Kodiak pancake batter, which was a light brown due to the whole-grain, non-refined flour.

By making three pancakes — and three times the 1/3 cup serving size — I made three servings, adding up to a staggering 42 grams of protein.

The first bite was fluffy and light, while the cinnamon and oat definitely added an extra layer of flavor. I could taste the whole grains, and it reminded me of whole-grain bread. For me, that wasn't a bad thing, but I can see somebody getting put off by the taste if they were looking for a traditional pancake.

If you're looking to satisfy a pancake craving, these probably won't do the trick, but they are still tasty in their own right. Plus, they kept me full for hours.

Although I'm not convinced the pancakes are worth the hype, they are still a great alternative if you're looking for a more protein-packed start to your day.

After seeing all the hype on social media, I was expecting a delicious breakfast that would make me swear off traditional pancake mix forever. That wasn't the case.

While Kodiak pancakes were tasty, they didn't satisfy my traditional pancake craving. I can definitely see myself turning to Bisquick again in the future, but I can also see myself turning to Kodiak when I'm being more food and health-conscious.

So would I recommend Kodiak? It depends. If you're craving a pancake, then I say skip Kodiak and use your go-to mix. But if you're looking for a way to get in more protein, want to stay satiated for longer, and can afford a splurge, then you won't be disappointed with Kodiak.
